GLUlNG-MACHINE FOR BINDING-STRIPS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 395,692, dated January8, 1889.

Application filed leptember 20, 1888- Serial No. 285,876. (No model.)

To aZZ LU/1007M it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES II. CHAPPEL,a citizen of the United States,residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Gluing-Machines forBinding-btrips; and I do hereby declare that the following isa full,clear, and, exact descriptioi'i of s the invention, which wil I enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompan ying drawings, and to theletters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part ofthis specification.

My invention relates to improvements in a gluing-machine forbinding-strips, the several features of which will. be fully hereinafterset forth.

The use of my invention is to glue the nu der surface of a strip ofpaper used as a binding on the back of writing-tablets.

The object is to glue the surface while the strip is being drawn inposition to be pressed down by the hands on the back of the tablet, andthereby unite the several sheets forming the said tablet.

I attain the object by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, in which" Figure 1. is a side view of the gluing-machine withportions cut away to exhibit the interior. Fig. 2 a top view of thesame. Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of one of the roller-guides. Fig. at isan enlarged view of the scraper.

Like letters designate like parts throughout the several views.

A is a table supported on suitable legs. Near the left end is attachedan ordinary clamp consisting of the fixed part H and the movable part Hand having the eccentric I to opera-tethe movable part. On the right endis attached the slotted upright L, in the upper end of which is held therollerD and in the lower end the spool E on suitable pivots. To a pin inthe center of the said upright is attached the strap m, and to the endof which is secured a small weight, "n, the use being to give frictionto the said spool. Near the center of the table is provided a squareorifice, into WlliClIhlS set. the flanged metallic vessel O, used tohold water, and it has an under part, C,

which is open and in the bottom of which. is attached the gas-burner S,the same having the flexible pipe t to convey the gas to it. Vithin thewater-compzu'tment are lugs that serve to support the glue-vessel B.This vessel has bearings in its sides for the roller G, and ears to,attached to the ends, which form bearings for the guide-rollers it u,which are identical in construction, and are clearly shown at Fig. 3.The shaft has bearings in the ears as a', with collars .1 1 outside ofsaid ears, and the adjustable collars 2 2 serve to guide the strip ofpaper. The scraper w is supported at the right end of the glue-vessel,and is held in longitiulinal position by the screw 3 which engages a nutattached to the end of said ves sel. The projections on the sides of thescraper cover the sides of the roller, and the end is adjusted so nearthat only a thin stratum of glue can be carried on the upper surface ofthe roller. The gasburner heats the water and the water gives a uniformheat to the glue.

The paper strip F is prepared in rolls of the proper width, and is putinto the spool by removing one side of the same. It is then placed inthe upright L and held by a pin for its pivot. From the spool the paperis carried over the roller D, under guide-roller a, over roller G, andunder guide-roller a. J are the leaves for forming the tablet as theyare held. in the clamp in readiness to have the binding for the backapplied.

The operation is thus briefi y described. The paper strip is caught andcarried over the incomplete tablet held in the clamp, the paperreceiving a covering of glue on its under surface from the roller. Thesame is pressed down over the back and sides, thus completing thetablet.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to securebyLetters Pat ent, is-

1. In a machine for gluing writing-tablets, the combination of spool E,roller D, vessel B, guide-roller it, glue-roller G, provided withscraper w, and the guide-roller a, substantially as set forth.

2. In a machine for gluing writing-tablets, the combination of spool E,roller D, vessel B, guide-roller u, glue-roller G, guide-roller u, andthe clamp held on the table in central line with the other parts,substantially as set In testimony that I claim the foregoing forth. myown I affix my signature in presence of 3. The combination of theflanged vessel C, two witnesses.

provided with compartment for the gas-burn- CHARLES H. Cl-IAPPEL. 5 erS, the yessel B, with glue-roller G, and Vitnesses:
